1. Advantage
OThere is neccessity not to decrease the phase response till
DC range in order to increase the music signal response of
extremely low frequency range. Therefore, this amplifier is
employing no capacitors except ones for phase compensa-
tion, and has an almost perfect transient characteristics.
0 The first stage FET (2SK9?) is a dual FET of even characteris-
tics and has a large Gm and no-leakage current at normal
temparature.
To avoid the influence by temperature drift, such as center
voltage (OV) deviation, this FET is used as differential am-
plifier and operates at cross point which is the optimum
point of drain current (at about 3mA) against the tempera-
ture drift.
OTransistors, TROS and TRO?, the push- pull pre- driver stage
functions as current differential amplifier that the stabilized
operation can be obtained. In addition, the collector cur-
rent of these transistors is enough high to make linearity
excellent.
OSince this Amplifier employs phas~ advancer circuits (CO6
COB, C1S, R29, C16 and R30J, which have not been fre-
quently used, to compensate the phase characteristics on
high frequency range and is also made to have enough

current on each stage to increase the through-rate, the
performance on high frequency range is conspicuously
improved.
OTo avoid the voltage deviation, regulated power supply
circuit composed of ZDO1, ZDO2 is employed.
2. Operation
The use of differential amplification at first stage dual FET
(FETO1 , FETO2) and connection of the FET to the differential
amplifier composed of TRO1, TRO2, make possible to obtain
enough gain and remarkable low distortion.
The output signals of TRO1 and TRO2 are untiphase.
The output signal of TRO2 adds to TROS, on the other hand
the output phase of TRO1 is inverted by TRO3, then, it becomes
input signal of TRO4 and TRO? which are cascoded connection.
The output signals at TROS and TRO? are inphase that the op-
eration of this stage is push-pull drive and current differential
amplification. The power amplifier of the final stage is com-
posed ofSEPP (Single Ended Push-Pull) symmetry comple
mentary in 3-stage darlington connection type.
TRO9 and TR10 are composing current limiter circuit to protect
power transistor from break-down by overload.
